Breastfeeding Support & Breast Pumps

Vital Milk is a "not only for profit" durable medical equipment (DME) company with the primary goal of helping all mothers obtain a double electric breast pump and evidence-based lactation support as a benefit of her insurance plan or at no cost. Vital Milk employs mothers (certified lactation counselors and breastfeeding peer counselors) who provide free in-home deliveries to offer personal instruction and evidence-based lactation support to mothers in their own communities. We hope our services increase knowledge, confidence and empowerment. We want mothers to make informed decisions; we will respect every woman’s choice and offer help with individualized breastfeeding plans. If a mother needs a higher level of care beyond the scope of our services, Vital Milk works to connect her to a specialist before leaving her home. Vital Milk continues to follow-up with the mother until a new provider is established, ensuring the continuity of care for both the mother and her infant. Vital Milk is happy to also offer: ongoing lactation support, breastfeeding advocacy in the work place/school, current research on prescription medications and the effects on breast milk, and help with establishing community wide connections.
